As soon as he said this, Hancock bit his thumb and thought about it.
Crocodile's face was gloomy, he always felt that Kuro's words were a bit aimed at him.
Mihawk still had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of interest.
Only Bucky was studying the contract carefully. The contract was the same as what Kuro said, except that if he failed, the newcomer would inherit the position of Shichibukai.
That was a private rule set by Kuro himself.
To be honest, if you only care about seven people, there is no need to stick to the rules. The World Government has suffered from this, and there are not seven people yet.
"Sign it and stop reading." Kuro urged.
Crocodile knew what Kuro was planning at a glance, and asked directly: "Humph, Kuro, you forced us to the new world, aren't you afraid that the world government will hold you accountable? Are you shrinking your sphere of influence now?"
"This is your own business as pirates." Kuro said calmly: "You don't need to be responsible for the above, that's my business, you only need to be responsible for me."
"I have no objection."
Mihawk put down his legs on the table, picked up the quill on the side, and signed his name on the contract - Jolakel Mihawk.
"I believe you."
Hancock also picked up the pen and signed his name.
This bastard is right. It would be good if Amazon Lily could be traded, because if she has a route, she can set up a station there to conduct trade. They don't even need to get their own merchant ships, as long as they can get the goods at the station.
, just take it back directly, it’s much faster than robbing it.
The accumulation passed down from generation to generation by Amazon Lily means that they are not short of money, but they are short of goods.
And didn’t you hear what Clow said, you can choose any station and just find a commercial thoroughfare. In terms of the tariffs they get, it means that those goods are all for free.
"That, that what am I"
Bucky panicked for a while, but finally picked up the quill and signed his name.
They all signed, so he couldn't help but sign. He couldn't lose his position as the Shichibukai.
As for failure, he has such a group of subordinates, how could he fail? Just be cautious.
And choosing an arterial route in a route is a great thing!
He loves wealth and treasures the most!
"Very good, the next step is to choose a route."
Kuro bit his cigar and said: "We happen to be here. You are the first four Shichibukai. I will give you convenience and freedom to choose your route."
As he spoke, Crowe took out a drawing and spread it on the table.
The routes on the sea have always been chaotic, and some of them still have the same island in the middle, but overall, they can still be divided into seven.
Hancock looked at it and pointed to the route closest to her kingdom, "That's it. I want this."
This is the easternmost route of the Grand Line, and it is also the most dangerous one for pirates, because it goes directly to Si Judici Island. It is also relatively close to the largest 'Sitfu Station' in the first half of the Grand Line, and the transportation is very convenient.
, you can go to anywhere through this station, including the Capital of Seven Waters.
"I'm free."
Mihawk pointed at a random route and landed on the route next to Hancock.
He is alone, has little power, and does not need money. These contracts are always said to have little effect on him.
"Quluo, I don't have to do any of this. How about you fight with me instead?" Mihawk was determined to fight.
"I refuse!" Kuro said, what I am best at is refusing.
"Turn back and pull up a flag. Isn't there a ghost girl and a group of baboons under your control? Ask these people to help you, but you can't accept any younger ones." Kuro said.
"I want it here!"
Crocodile pointed to the middle route, his tone somewhat gritted.
Where you fall, you get up.
The Straw Hat Kid defeated him on this route, and he wants to start over here.
"Then I'll take this one."
Bucky's hand flew away and landed on the leftmost route on the map, looking funny.
This route is relatively wealthy. There are also some famous islands such as 'Carnival City', 'Food City', and 'Spring Queen City' within the route.
"Are you sure?" Qrow raised his eyebrows.
"Of course! This is it!"
Bucky said: "Don't you recognize what you said? I want this route!"
Compared with other routes, this route is very prosperous, and there must be many merchant ships coming and going.
"Okay, then this is it."
Qrow glanced at him and said, "Your mission will be a little heavier, Bucky."
What's the meaning?
Bucky was stunned.
"Oh? This route, I remember there are a lot of pirates on this route," Crocodile said.
"Indeed, there seem to be a lot of pirates in this route." Mihawk nodded and said, "Some newcomers worth over 100 million are often here."
Of course, the Grand Line also produces pirates, even more than those from the Four Seas. After all, the pirates from the Four Seas have to enter the Upside Down Mountain, but the pirates from the Grand Line don't need to. They are born here.
Therefore, they also know which route is the richest.
The route Bucky chose is a route that the navy pays close attention to, because there are often powerful newcomers here, and the pirate population is particularly high.
After listening to their words, Bucky's eyes widened, mucus came out from his red nose in a straight line, and he stammered: "Hai, are there many pirates?"
"Well, you're not scared anymore, are you? Are you scared of the Shichibukai, the Pirate King's partner, and the red-haired 'Senryōdo' Baki, who is a close friend?" Kuro smiled at him.
"How, how is it possible!"
Bucky put his hands on his hips and said, "I am Lord Bucky. If those pirates dare to invade my base, I will not let them go!"
"Very good, then let me choose a place for you."
Kuro pointed to a station very close to the upside down mountain and said: "Carnival City, an island that this route must pass through, is also very prosperous. You will be stationed here. There are a lot of tariffs collected here. You can travel all over the world."
Pirates who come in and choose this route will definitely pass by this island, and those who want to start the Grand Route all over again and reach the starting point of this route will definitely pass by here."
"Bucky, with your strength and power, there will definitely be no problem." Qrow said with a smile.
On the other hand, Bucky's mouth was already wide open, and his whole body began to tremble unconsciously.
But when Kuro looked over, he immediately showed an expression of "I have nothing to fear", turned up his nose and said, "Of course!"
Kuro curled his lips. This guy's power is huge and he has many people under his command. It's just right to let them isolate the pirates. Dog bites dog.
As the Shichibukai, we must ensure the safety of the route we choose. It is definitely not realistic for them to cruise, but if we choose a commercial thoroughfare, we can stop many pirates.
Especially for Bucky, who doesn't seem to want to go to the new world and just wants to develop his own power, it can be used to deal with the pirates in front of him.
In the New World, Kuro can allow failure, but within their sphere of influence, if they fail
